Chapter 9: All the time we want

The light of the new day filled Derek's trailer and woke Meredith up. She slowly opened her eyes, trying to understand where she was…..it wasn't too difficult recognize the place: the first thing she saw was Derek, leant on his elbow, who was watching her.

- Good morning- he said smiling

- Good morning- she echoed leaning in to kiss him. – How long have you been awake?- she asked

- Actually I've never fallen asleep-

- Seriously? We have to work!-

- I know that, but I couldn't sleep with you next to me after so long time. I just wanted to watch you-

Meredith smiled – Don't complain if you won't be able to be awake today- she joked.

- Don't worry about that…there will be no problems- he said kissing her neck.

- Stop- commanded Meredith

- Why?-

- You have to be quiet….I'll play- she said placing herself on the top of him.

Derek laughed – Whatever you want –

Derek parked his car in the parking lot of the hospital.

- Maybe I should go first…...everybody are going to notice we're arrived together and I don't know if that's good…- said Meredith

- Mer, calm down!- he said smiling

- I'm sorry….but I don't know how we should act…..this time would be different…your ex wife woks with us….and there's the Chief…he's never wanted us to be together…-

- Meredith, listen to me: you have to calm down. It's not so complicated like you think. Addison knows that we would end up together eventually, so don't worry about her-

- But….it's going to be hard for her. I know how it's like….when you left me I was a mess.- she protested.

- Mer, I know you're kind and I love you for that, but let's care about your happiness…our happiness. We deserve it-

Meredith smiled – Ok…and about the Chief?-

- I'll talk to him, and however I don't care what he thinks…..I want to be with you. Nothing will be able to make me be without you again-

- I count on it-

Derek smirked and kissed her on the forehead – Let's go, we're late-

- Together?-

- Yes, together-

They got off the car and went in the hospital. Meredith looked for Derek's hand. He noticed it and took hers and held it tightly. Everybody around looked at them and whispered

- This hospital is worse than my old high school- Derek observed.

Meredith laughed – Yeah, I guess it is-

Richard Webber was in sitting in his office, doing anything in particular. His niece was really sick, he couldn't concentrate himself on work.

- Richard, can I talk with you?- It was Derek.

- Sure-

Derek came in the office. – It's about Meredith Grey-

Richard nodded: he wasn't surprised. He knew about Derek and Addison's divorce and he understood immediately that Derek had done what he hadn't had the straight to do twenty years ago: leaving his wife to be with the woman he loved.

- Go on- he said simply even if he knew what Derek was going to tell him.

- We're got back together. I know that you don't approve, Richard, but I love her and she loves me. I finally understood that is that what is really important….I want to make her happy and I know I can do it-

Richard nodded – I've known Meredith since she was born, do you know that?-

- I do-

- I'm not good at show it….but I love her like she was my own child. I want her to be happy, so if you think you're right for her, that's good for me-

- Thank you Richard-

- You don't have to thank me…..just, try to be professional here….especially in front of Addison-

- I'll do it-

For the first time after ages Meredith was really happy, and this time weren't doubts or fear…..this time everything was perfect. She didn't mater that everywhere she went people talked about her and Derek….it wasn't important, not anymore.

- I saw the two of you this morning….so it's true? You're together again?- asked Cristina.

- Yeah, it's true- said Meredith with a stupid smirk on her face.

- Oh, don't be so happy, it's disgusting!-

- I'm sorry I think I'll be like this for a long time-

Cristina couldn't help but smile – Good, so I won't have to see you miserable again. It's strange but it's good too-

- I think so-

- Oh my God….Izzie's here!- said Cristina. Meredith followed her gaze and saw Izzie

- Izzie!-

- Hey guys-

- What are you doing here?- Meredith asked

- Oh, Chief wanted to talk to me-

- What did he want?-

- He tried to convince me to return to Seattle Grace-

- That's great! Have you accept?- asked Cristina

- I told him I'll think about it…..it's hard after Danny's death, but I miss surgery….I don't know, I really have to think about it- Izzie explained.

- It's something that you're thinking about it- said Meredith

- Talking about you….you weren't at home this morning-

Cristina smirked – Don't you know? She's back with McDreamy-

- Seriously? That's great Meredith!-

- Yeah, it is-

- So you two yesterday night…..- Izzie began smiling.

- Yes, we had sex….twice. And once this morning too, actually- Meredith said nonchalantly

- Oh, you don't waste time, uh?- asked Cristina

- No…I don't want to waste time anymore-

Three weeks later….

- Meredith, we'll be late! Hurry up!- said Derek waiting for Meredith to go out of the bathroom

- Just a moment!-

- If we miss the plane, my sister will kill me!-

That day was Derek's big sister anniversary and he and Meredith had to go to New York for the party.

- Ok, I'm ready!- she said and went out of the bathroom.

- Finally!-

- I'm sorry, but today I'll meet your family, I'm a bit nervous….what if they don't like me?-

- They're going to love you…..I don't see how a person couldn't love you- said Derek

Meredith smiled and kissed him. – I love you, you know that?-

- Of course that I know-

It had been three weeks since she and Derek were back together and everything was great…..they were always together. Things were fine for her friends too. Izzie had finally begun to work at Seattle Grace again. She and Alex weren't together, it was too soon, but Meredith was sure that soon or later Alex would be lucky; Burke was doing really better and Derek said that the month after he would be able to work again; and finally George was still with Callie….he seemed to really love her and he and Meredith talked much more.

- Can we go? Or you're going to have a death boyfriend-

Meredith laughed – Is Mary so terrible?-

- Yeah, she can be. But she's fantastic as well. I'm sure the two of you will get on well-

- I hope so-

He took the carrying case from her hand – I'll bring it. C'mon- Meredith followed him out of the house where his car was parked.

- Derek?- she called

- What?-

- You make me happy, you know that? I'm happy like I've never been in all my life. A months ago I was angry because I couldn't forget you, but now…..now I thank God everyday for make impossible for me to forget you-

Derek leaned to her and brought her in his arms.

- And this is strange because I think I've never believed in God that much-

Derek kissed her….a long soft kiss

- Derek…-

- Mer, you had better to shout up sometimes-

He kissed her again, hard this time

- But….the…..plane- she managed to say between kisses.

- I don't care about the plane-

- You said Mary would kill you if we miss the plane-

- I'll die happy-

She laughed and took him inside. There will be time for knowing Derek's family, going with him to New York or everything else: they had all the time they wanted.
